I also got a problem whether choosing B or C, but now I know in Choice B, it lacks of something, 42 times (.....), the....should be like Choice C : 42 times their pay. And in that way, the sentence makes sense, if you have any other confusion, please let me know.

The 32 species that make up the dolphin family are closely related to whales and in fact include the animal known as the killer whale, which can grow to be 30 feet long and is famous for its aggressive hunting pods.

A. include the animal known as the killer whale, which can grow to be 30 feet long and is
B. include the animal known as the killer whale, growing as big as 30 feet long and
C. include the animal known as the killer whale, growing up to 30 feet long and being
D. include the animal known as the killer whale, which can grow as big as 30 feet long and is
E. include the animal known as the killer whale, which can grow to be 30 feet long and it is

Let's rewrite this sentence: The killer whale, which can grow to be 30 feet long and is famous for..........

From this point, we can elinimate B, E, C,

We stuck at A and D, here D as big as an elephant is right, I think I have never heard of as big as 30 feet long, we elinimate D

We go with A

In E: ....................and.........................in this modifier sentence...................and..............should be a parellel structure, so E here is weird
can grow...and it is
